Former Tennessee and NFL running back Charlie Garner said doctors believe he may have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that has been tied to concussions and head injuries.
“I don’t have all my faculties anymore,” Garner told the Sporting News. “I can’t remember things. When I go to the mall or grocery store, I have to take one of my kids with me to remember where the car is parked. I have trouble remembering conversations I had five minutes ago. Bright lights bother me. I just don’t feel right all the time.
